Lauderhill man stabbed outside apartment

A Lauderhill man was in surgery after being stabbed Wednesday outside his apartment.

The victim was involved in an altercation with four or five others on the sidewalk in the 2600 block of Northwest 56th Avenue, said Lt. Greg Solowsky of the Lauderhill Police Department.

Police think the man was stabbed at least one time with a sharp weapon. He then went home, where someone called police, Solowsky said.

When police arrived, the man was covered in blood, making it hard to determine the location and number of stab wounds, Solowsky said. The man was taken to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was in surgery Wednesday evening.

Solowsky said the investigation is ongoing, and police do not know the gender, race or ages of the others involved. Detectives are speaking with witnesses and are waiting to speak with the victim.
